These things slap
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yump, this is the one!! I had to go back and buy a second one for stereo mode!! Best Sony Bluetooth speaker I've ever owned. Just one downfall I wish it connected to my xb90 Sony speaker. The two combined are louder than the xB90 although I wouldn't compare to my JBL boombox 2, but they bump!!

Sony is Back Baby!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony used to be the top brand next to Bose. They fell off for a bit but with this powerful speaker box, someone at Sony decided to care and get back to the A+ brand they used to be! This box kicks. It also has the USB charger in the back so u can charge your phone. Super sweet!
